Happy Lunar New Year of the Dragon! 恭喜發財!
Thought it would be a nice moment to share this lovely Hong Kong Ten Dollar stamp!
Two photos of King George VI by Bertram Park were considered for use on postage stamps. The first portrait was rejected by the Royal Mint, but accepted for those produced for the Commonwealth. The second portrait was accepted for UK circulation - and it tickles me how the King’s big ear was made smaller!
Which portrait would you have chosen? (I say, screw the photos, just give me Bertie😂)

This is no a hate post, I'm just appreciating the Royal Mint's total Glow-up of their coins on William, that's all.
Left Prince William 21st birthday commemorative coin, right his 40th.
Well done Royal Mint, well done 👏

If you arrange British coins this way, you'll get a shield — it represents the Royal Coat of Arms! 🇬🇧

Two portraits of King George VI which were considered for use on postage stamps. The latter one was chosen; the former rejected. (I think they’re both delightful; Bertie has the perfect profile!)

New coin designs for King Charles III released by the UK's Royal Mint
PUBLISHED FRI, SEP 30 2022 5:41 AM EDTUPDATED 3 HOURS AGO
Jenni Reid
The 50 pence coin shows King Charles III without a crown and facing left, in keeping with a tradition for each successive monarch to switch profile.
The coins will be in circulation before the end of the year, and other denominations will be minted featuring the same image next year.
Existing coins featuring Queen Elizabeth II will remain in use until they are naturally phased out.
LONDON — The first coin featuring King Charles III was unveiled Friday and is set to be in public usage before the end of the year.
The 50 pence coin shows a likeness of the British king created by British sculptor Martin Jennings, who said it was his smallest-ever work.
King Charles is facing left on the coin, in keeping with a tradition that sees each successive monarch switch profile.
He is not wearing a crown, which previous kings also did not, though Queen Elizabeth II did in the five coins produced during her reign
The same image will be used on coins from the 1 pence to £2 from the start of next year.
The text on the new coin says "CHARLES III • D • G • REX • F • D • 5 POUNDS • 2022," a shortening of the Latin "King Charles III, by the Grace of God, Defender of the Faith," the BBC reported.
The existing 29 billion coins featuring the queen in circulation in the U.K., as well as in Commonwealth countries including Australia, New Zealand and Canada, will remain legal tender and be phased out naturally and over time with use.
It was once common for the public to carry coins featuring more than one monarch.
The Royal Mint, which has made coins featuring the monarch for over 1,100 years and is Britain's oldest company, said it would be available to collectors next week and in general use before the end of the year.
"Although technology has progressed, we continue to honour British craftsmanship passed down through the centuries," said Anne Jessopp, chief executive at the Royal Mint.
"Our team of skilled modellers, tool-makers and engravers will ensure that the King's effigy will be faithfully replicated on to millions of coins."
The Royal Mint will also release a commemorative £5 Crown — a coin intended as a souvenir or collector item that is not generally accepted for use — featuring images of Queen Elizabeth II near the start and end of her 70-year reign.
King Charles ascended to the throne on Sept. 8. following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, his mother.
This week the palace said the cause of death recorded on her death certificate was "old age." She was 96.

“More than 90 tons of old silver coins sent to London from Belgrade are being reconditioned for circulation in Jugoslavia. The coins will be of the approximate value of sixpence, one shilling and two shillings. Photo shows weighing out the new coins at the mint.”
- from the Kingston Whig-Standard. October 25, 1932. Page 9.
